Key forward Brayden Crossley said when the side was on song they were creating plenty of chances but poor conversion was a problem.

There was extra practise in front of goals this week at the end of drills when players were tired, to simulate a game situation.

“When we’ve had those good patches we have been getting lots of inside fifties and lots of scoring shots,’’ he said.

“So we’ve been doing a bit extra on our goal kicking under fatigue lately because we have had a lot of shots and haven’t capitalised on those chances.’’

Crossley said while the Suns were aware Essendon had been guilty of inconsistency just like the Suns were, they had to expect a four quarter performance from the Bombers tonight.

He said the Suns believed if they also produced a four quarter performance they would get their fourth win of the season.

“You have got to play your best and prepare for their best as well,’’ he said.

“We are assuming they will come out and bring their best so we ae trying to do the same for four quarters.

“We are pretty confident, we have shown over the past couple of weeks some good patches and if we can have a go at it and turn those patches into four quarters we can really match it with the best of teams.
